What is Culture?
Lately I’ve been looking around and asking myself, “What exactly is culture?” It’s a question full of complexity since over the years, the definition of culture has changed drastically. Culture transcends genres, breaks barriers, bridges ideas, and is the foundation of identity for millions of people around the world. Everyone has a sense of culture, many would say it is art or science or religion or even politics, but it’s a hard concept to truly wrap ones head around even though it affects our lives on a daily basis.
Over time, I plan to continue asking this question in order to gain a better understanding and awareness of what culture is, and what it means to people. In doing so opening up a dialog about its relevance in modern times as well as its place in the world at large.
Check out the video. It’s a good start to a definition, and gives a pretty good history and perspective.
